Nugget123 -- Grab the yellow plane with your Move Tool and pull it down. You will see the quicksand exposed. The quicksand is just slightly below the surface of the plane.
Those parameters are not "weird". Apparently, you just don't understand how they work. Read the Algodoo Forum under the heading of "Thyme Scripting". You can search specific words such as "bend" or "inertiaMultiplier". The Forum is no longer active with people posting information but there is a lot of good information to research.
Nickaalex-- I found a way to make the wipers look more realistic by using tracers! I also added a thin layer of glass so that it looks even more realistic. It's a lot easier to show you what I did rather than to try to explain it. So, if you are Okay with me posting a modified version of your scene, then I will do so and I will name it "For Nickaalex". After you have watched my scene and/or copy it, just let me know and I will delete it. You can then go ahead and add the tracers and glass to your own scene if you want to.
Here is an old scene that I published about 11 years ago. It doesn't say much about how to do it, but it provides some philosophy about why writing self-modifying code is not a good idea, especially for professional programmers. I can give you a few details about how I did it for a couple of scenes that I published here on Algobox (If I can remember what they were! LOL)
Reply: Amen, brother! Some people who expect our government to take care of their every need and desire eventually learn a very hard lesson. It just doesn't work that way!
When I say "Amen" I do not promote or imply any particular religion. It's just a way to say "I totally agree with you!". There are probably a hundred different ways of saying that. I hope I did not offend you.
Yeah, I think I see where the problem is. We can write the operating system for an Algodoo computer in Thyme script, but when a user writes any program code for the "computer" then Thyme will see that as "bad syntax" and will flag it with a bunch of parentheses. Is that the problem?
